Bidisciplinary Master of
Science

provides students with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology or Earth and Environmental Sciences the opportunity to further their studies in a field (minor concentration) other than the one chosen at the Bachelor level (major concentration). This programme prepares graduates to work at the crossroads between two scientific branches, in research or in teaching.

AVAILABLE DISCIPLINES: 

  • Mathematics
  • Computer Science
  • Physics 
  • Chemistry 
  • Biology 
  • Earth and Environmental Sciences
